Elliot Anderson joins Manchester City from Nottingham Forest for record fee

Elliot Anderson has signed with Manchester City, completing a transfer from Nottingham Forest for £116 million in July. The England international, who agreed to a five-year contract, was an essential player at Forest but his departure was anticipated by manager Oliver Glasner. Glasner stated that Nottingham is not a permanent destination for top talents and that the decision to sell Anderson was made for non-financial reasons. The transfer record surpasses Jack Grealish's fee, and Anderson is expected to take on a significant role in City's midfield following a notable exit.
